Kansas State University: international tuition 28,962 USD per year, one-year total cost 48,769 USD, acceptance rate 81.7%. This page lists 4 scholarships open to international students.

Getting in. The school admits 81.7% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 550–640, Math 510–620, ACT 20–27. The SAT and ACT are optional: a score counts if you send one, and you can still apply without it. The school has not published a minimum English score. If the English score is not there yet, the school can still admit conditionally.

Cost for a year. One year comes to 48,769 USD, before any scholarship. 4 scholarships are confirmed for international students, but nothing is taken off yet because the amount of each one is not clear.

Deadline and visa. The application deadline for spring is 1/12. You apply through Common App. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
